Title
Medieval Bone Beater
Description
English: A complete medieval bone beater, dating from c. 720-1200 AD. The beater tapers at one end, and narrows to a rounded point. It is oval in cross section, with two of the sides flattened. The opposite end of the beater is worn and broken, and has a roughly chopped edge. The surface of the beater is highly polished, with scratches and cracks running up the length of the object. The beater is a yellow white colour, and measures 69.1mm in length, 6.4mm in thickness, and 7.7mm in width. The beater weighs 4.14g.

MacGregor et al 1999 dates a similar bone beater to the Early Medieval to the 12th Century AD. (no.6687)

Ottaway and Rogers (2002 Vol 17) state that single-ended beaters from England date no later than the 13th century. (Page 2738).
